Thomas stood on my door step, grinning from ear to ear.
As I pulled the door open his cologne hit me straight away. It smelt divine. A masculine but sweet aroma
I subtly raked my eyes over his appearance. His dark hair was styled perfectly, swept back into a smooth style with just enough gel to stop it from straying out of place, his skin was fresh and slightly tanned, his teeth as white as fresh paper, gleaming along with that amazing smile that was surrounded by almost black stubble.
Those beautiful blue eyes dazzling as his gaze held mine for the slightest second.He wore a crisp white shirt, unbuttoned just enough to see the dark spread of chest hair.
His grey suit jacket matching the perfectly pressed suit pants. The tan shoes he worse finished off the outfit perfectly.
I could see from the tight shirt that he was well built, his chest looked toned beneath the shirt. He definitely worked out, his arms were huge.
Once I'd finished looking him over I realised that my mouth was gaping open so I immediately closed it when he let out a small cough."Hello beautiful"
I met his gaze for brief moment before his eyes roamed my body, starting with my eyes and working their way down."You look amazing" he said as his smile grew and his eyebrows raised as he cocked his head slightly.
"I look amazing? Have you seen yourself? Wow" I emphasised as I once again looked him over
He chuckled and shrugged his shoulders."Are you ready to go"
He held out one hand with a single red rose in it and his other hand held open towards me, waiting for me to place my hand upon it.
As soon as I placed my hand in his palm and took the single rose, he curled his hand around mine and gently pulled me towards him
"Let's go shall we"
I nodded, simply unable to find any words. He looked and smelt amazing. If he makes a move on me tonight there is no chance I will be able to restrain myself. Sod what I said to my sister.He led me towards his car, which was parked over my driveway. Opening the door for me with a huge grin on his face as I elegantly slid in to his Bentley.
As he made his way around to the drivers side he kept his gaze on me, he was making me nervous so I looked down at my hands with a small smile on my face.
He slid into the drivers side seat and began stretching across to my side, it wasn't until he said "safety first" that I realised what he was doing and I watched his face, mere inches from mine as he pulled the seat belt around me and fastened me in.
I could of face palmed myself if his face wasn't so close to mine"Oh, umm, I was completely distracted"
Good one Emily, now he thinks your an brainless.
He simply laughed and said
" I'm glad I've made an impression"
He started up the engine after putting his own seatbelt on and started driving.
I had no idea where we were going, in all honesty, I don't think I cared so long as I got to sit and watch him.As we pulled up outside a fancy Italian restaurant I placed my hand on the door handle to get out when a hand landed on top of mine, I turned around to see what was going on.
"Please, let me" Thomas said, his face, mere inches from mine again.
I removed my hand and waited for him to get out and come around my side to let me out, like he'd asked.He opened the door and held out his hand for me to take. I placed mine in his as I slid my leg out and placed my foot on the side walk, he gently pulled me up until I was upright, not once taking his hand or eyes off me.
Closing the door he continued to hold my hand as we made our way inside the restaurant.
Twinkling fairy lights lined the quaint little restaurant windows which also had deep red curtains hanging up. Outside there were four sets of patio tables on either side of the entrance. Each having matching chairs.
We made our way inside and instantly I was hit with the aromas of fresh herbs and onions.
Still holding my hand, Thomas guided us over to a small intimate table and pulled out a chair for me.
Thank god it was quiet in here, I was still very nervous, the last thing I needed was everyone staring at me. A few of the staff were already gawking at us, especially the female waitress that was stood over near the bar, I saw her eyes light up when Thomas walked in.
Taking my seat I watched as Thomas took his own chair, pulling it out I could see the material of his jacket strain underneath the pressure from his bulging muscle.
"So, Emily, what would you like to eat, I'm sorry, I completely forgot to ask if you like Italian food"
He suddenly became worried as his eyebrows raised and the little creases on his forehead became more apparent."I'm not too sure at the moment" I answered honestly
"And don't worry, I love Italian food. Let's have a look at the menu shall we" I said with a smile as I picked up the menu. He followed suit and I could see the relief on his face once I'd said it.I chose the carbonara, I had recently developed a taste for spaghetti since I rarely had it as a kid.
I placed my menu down and took a glance around the restaurant. The tables were a rich mahogany colour, lined with the typical red and white chequered table clothes and a green table cloth on top of that. The walls were lined with cream stonework at the bottom and wooden panelling at the top, in a light, white washed colour. I finally turned back to look at Thomas as he placed his menu down and then looked up at me.
"Your eyes are mesmerising, I can't stop looking at them"
An instant blush made its way to my cheeks.
"thank you" I leaned in closer."you have quite amazing eyes yourself, I've never met someone with one eye having two colours. It's quite fascinating"
I mentally face palmed myself. Now he is going to think I'm mocking him.
Thankfully he just chuckled and said, "thank you"
As the waitress came over to our table her face was full of smiles, aimed directly at Thomas. Notebook in one hand pen in the other.
"Good evening sir, Madame, can I take your order" she asked, ever so giddy as her eyes roamed all over Thomas' body.
"Could we order some drinks first please, Emily, what would you like to drink" I stopped looking at the overly flirtatious waitress, then to Thomas and down to the drinks menu.
"Could I just have an ice cold water please" I asked politely
I didn't want any alcohol tonight and anything else would of given me gas, that was not what I wanted on my first date in years.
"An ice cold glass of water and a pint of Guinness please" Thomas stated as he placed his menu back down on the table.
"Would you guys like to order your food now"
Thomas looked at me with a slight nod as if to say, shall we. I gave my own nod back then looked up to the waitress."Ladies first" Thomas announced, gesturing his hand towards me.
"Could I have the carbonara please"
"Yeah sure" the waitress said as she took down my order."I will have the same please, with a side of garlic bread if that's okay" Thomas asked as he made his own order
"Yeah sure, I will go place the order for you guys"The waitress went off to place our order but not without giving Thomas a huge smile before she left. She clearly fancied him, thankfully he didn't pay her any attention.
